Storm damage roof report in Kingston Bagpuize
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or torn flashings and water coming in after the storm.
In older homes around places like Kingston Bagpuize, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there’s little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. A visit to a smaller place like Kingston Bagpuize is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Note where any stains or damp appear

FAQs for Kingston Bagpuize
Will you come out to Kingston Bagpuize?
Yes, Kingston Bagpuize is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Kingston Bagpuize?
Yes, Kingston Bagpuize is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Kingston Bagpuize
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
How we price storm damage roof reports

- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages

- Basic, Standard or Premium

Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Kingston Bagpuize roofs and the weather
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Kingston Bagpuize has a long history of building, with Longworth House about 1.4 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like John Blandy Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
